Quality, Affordability are Built to Suit in Vantage Brantford
BRANTFORD, ONTARIO (January 1, 2012) In Brantford’s newest Stirling Bridge community, newly-installed streetlights are shining a light on just how affordable quality family living can be.
Vantage Brantford, the city’s popular new town home development, is taking shape with a seamless blend of natural beauty and modern convenience. By the time spring arrives, the 138 home community will feature a private park, riverside walking trails and walkable retail amenities -- all part of the idyllic neighbourhood envisioned by Stirling Bridge.
Since they first broke ground here in 2004, the award-winning Stirling Bridge Homes duo comprised of President D. James McGorman and Vice President Jeff Wilson has clearly been enamored with the Brantford area. The team currently has four Brantford-area projects in various stages of development, a roster of communities that encompasses close to 500 homes.
With 30 years of experience in the areas of real estate, development, design and construction in North America and around the world, Stirling Bridge brings unique insight into the wants and needs of today’s modern homebuyer.
“We’re constantly comparing other homes in a similar price range and take pride in our attention to quality,” Jeff Wilson explains. “We’re not satisfied until we’re sure we’re delivering a better home to our purchasers than they can find anywhere else for that price.”
In the Vantage community, set in West Brantford at Shellard Lane and Diana Avenue, newly built two-storey town homes are offered in the pleasantly affordable $180,000 price range. Each is built on the Stirling Bridge principle of offering the best quality available for the price. With new home ownership closer than many buyers previously thought, it’s no surprise that sales have been brisk.
OWNER TESTIMONIAL- great value for the money
With the first new homeowners preparing to take possession of their completed units this February, excitement is mounting over what Stirling Bridge calls the “New Urbanism” of Vantage Brantford.
Together with City of Brantford, McGorman and Wilson are working to create a unique European-style streetscape for the homes that back onto Shellard Lane and Diana Avenue. The completed blocks will feature large porches and magnificent porticoes, grand staircases with decorative metal railings, and French doors flanked by elegant, tall windows. In Vantage, an area commonly neglected in other townhome builds will be the foundation of a thoughtfully-created neighbourhood that brims with personality.
Amidst brisk sales, Stirling Bridge breaks new ground this month on three new blocks of townhomes at the Vantage Brantford site, some of which back onto naturalized area that creates privacy throughout the rear yards.
Available units continue to sell briskly as development continues, with all 138 homes in the Vantage community expected to be sold by summer 2013.
Vantage has attracted homebuyers with sought-after features such as 9-foot ceilings, custom kitchens and wrap-around porches. An array of unique plans combines contemporary style and fine details with customized cabinetry, countertops, flooring and exterior finishes, both ready-made and built to suit.
Fine craftsmanship and detailing are Stirling Bridge hallmarks, as demonstrated by their first Brantford project in 2008, as well as thriving communities in Toronto, Kitchener, Kingston and Leamington. Each home is Energy Star Certified, built for optimal performance and energy efficiency.
Later this year, construction will begin in two new Stirling Bridge communities. “Paris on the Grand” with 95 bungalow loft and two-storey townhomes on the Grand River in the heart of Paris, ON and “Lindsay River Trail”, a collection of 128 bungalow townhouses bordered by the Scugog River and Kawartha Lakes Hiking Trail.
